University of Minnesota launches MNDrive Initiative to conduct cluster faculty recruiting in areas related to Neuromodulation, Robotics, Sensors and Manufacturing. More details on faculty search related to neuroengineering to be updated ASAP.

CNE director Bin He and colleagues were recently awarded a $9.5 million NIH U01 program grant to study the mechanisms, quantification and therapy of pain in sickle cell diseases (SCD) patients. Dr. Bin He will use EEG and fMRI to quantify pain in this project. Dr. Kalpna Gupta of Dept of Medicine is the lead PI of the grant.

The Center for Neuroengineering is a campus-wide research center to promote interdisciplinary research and training in the field of neuroengineering. Participating faculty come from various departments and colleges including biomedical sciences and engineering and physical sciences.

The mission of the Center for Neuroengineering is to advance neuroengineering research, foster collaborations between neuroscience and engineering faculty at the University of Minnesota and with industrial partners, and training of the next generation of leaders in this exciting field.--
